With three smart TVs throughout the home and fast WiFi, entertainment and convenience are always close at hand.
Outdoor living
Step outside to discover multiple outdoor spaces that make this property special. A fenced backyard, just off the back patio, offers room for dogs to roam or a quiet corner to enjoy the fresh air.
